Justin is playing a trivia game online. He begins the second round of questions with a bank of points he earned in the first round. Unfortunately, he answers all the second-round questions incorrectly. The graph compares Justin's total points, y, and the number of questions answered, x. What is the y-intercept? How can you interpret the y-intercept?

OpenStudy (imnotgoodatmath):

Graph shows points moving from zero comma twelve thousand to twenty-four comma zero The y-intercept is 0. Justin answered 0 questions correctly. The y-intercept is 12,000. Justin began Round 2 with 12,000 points. The y-intercept is 24. Justin will have 0 points when he answers 24 questions incorrectly. The y-intercept is 500. Justin loses 500 points for each question he answers incorrectly.
